Editing Vasenica sector (section)

====Crusading Regiments====

'''[[Hua Yuan Exterminators]]'''
A detachment of the Hua Yuan have been attached to the crusade, being from a neighbouring sector.

'''357th Ouroff Widowers'''
Regiment from the wintry industrial world of Ouroff, known for its explosives production. Soldiers enlist when they lose a loved one in a mill accident, to atone for the perceived sins which they believe to have caused their loved one's death. Primarily engage in close range firefights with liberal application of their home-made produce.

'''Thorian Rangers'''
Thoria is a civilized world that has been untouched by war in recent memory. During he start of the Vasenican Crusade, Thoria provided many regiments to retake the Vasenica sector for the Glory of the Emperor. The initial campaigns of the crusade were not kind to the Thorians, with many regiments being reduced to ineffective strength or being wiped out entirely by the Tau and Heraclian Confederates. Colonel Merrill Rogers cobbled together the remnants of 3 cut-off Thorian Regiments on the war world Drarth, and fought his way back to Imperial lines utilizing raids and lightning attacks to keep his troops supplied. Sent to regroup on Phorcys, Colonel Rogers built a new regiment around the remaining troops of his grenadier regiment, as an officer cadre, and rebuilt the Thorians as a light infantry force clad in grenadier carapace and carrying hellguns. Rogers utilized the strong Imperial navy presence on Phorcys to train his small force on Valkyrie insertions. Utilizing the reputation built on their escape back to Imperial Lines, the newly designated Thorian Rangers have made a name for themselves as elite drop troops, able to apply weight to offensives with their few numbers in the right place thanks to their heavy armor and weapons.

'''Huang Jiang Raiders/Guerillas'''
The planet of Huang Jiang wasteland deathworld with an inherent ork problem, in that orks landed there at one point in time, guard came and went, but seasonal mini waaaghs keep fucking things up. Central authority has control over PDF deployments, which is more often than not used to defend holdings of nobles, socialites and higher borne people. Meanwhile, commoners and peasants not lucky enough to be living on the fortified Lu Yang plateau have to fend for themselves. This causes a rift and resentment between those wealthy upper crust of society and the working man. Reflecting this, the Huang Jian PDF take expertise in discipline, armored and mechanized warfare as well as urban fighting to push back onslaughts of the green hordes that threaten the businesses and manufactorums that belong to the world and its upper class. The peasants and workers who are outside of the plateau are guerillas, arming what they can and fighting however they can against ork raiders. In the seasonal Green Tide, where the Orks in the surroundings manage to form up into very threatening hordes and attempt to roll over the settlements of Huang Jiang moving Eastward, the PDF often fall back and regroup at designated rally points, blowing dams (which cause numerous floods) and leaving villages and towns to their fates. While the major cities take the brunt of ork aggression, the commoners, forming a militia, will conduct fighting retreats, using hit and run tactics to distract and divert the oncoming orks wherever they can, all the while gathering people and supplies on a long and arduous Long March through many kilometers of mountains, deserts, tundras and jungles to the other side of the Plateau, practically non stop, fighting orks and bandits along the way. It is only there that they will weather out the green storm. Their journey, being performed on a regular basis, transforms these soldiers into very mobile, resourceful, and deadly guerilla fighters. In contrast, their PDF counterparts prefer more mechanized support and technological benefits.

As another note, because they come from rival classes, the PDF and the militia (as well as the commoners and the noblemen) have an ongoing feud, only tempered by the ever present threat of orks gobbling up everything. On their homeworld, they tolerate one another, though the commoners often try to fight for their rights. Out in the greater universe, however, the two groups will let their hatred for one another boil over into bloody conflicts, their resentment a powder keg just waiting to go off. PDF (Raider) and militia (Guerilla) regiments are normally sent off to fight in different theaters with the hopes they never do come to blows. However, due to clerical errors, that's not always the case...

Additionally, the militia units use exotic mounts known as Blue Crowned Raptors, which, while sparingly given out due to how hard it is to train them, are fairly loyal mounts.
